JDCC wishes you and your family a very happy healthy new year. May the year bring us all good news. As we say in hebrew, L'Shana Tovah which means Happy New Year.

We would love to hear from those that had a new experience this year whether it be a new Temple with an interpreter provided, built a Sukkah or carried the Torah on Simchat Torah. Share your experiences with us, the Jewish Deaf Community! Shalom...

Thanks to Ruth & James Stern of N.J. for taking photos of the cemetery in N.Y.
